Col Vetoraz Spumanti
between family and tradition

The territory that surround us with its hills and mild breezes; the favorable exposure to the sun’s rays and soils with a perfect organic composition; the centuries-old tradition of the Miotto family; the skill and ideas of one of the most innovative enologists. Based on these four pillars, Col Vetoraz was founded in 1993, by Francesco Miotto flanked by the agronomist Paolo De Bortoli and the winemaker Loris Dall’Acqua in an ongoing journey towards excellence. Today, with more than 250 awards achieved and the recognition of the winemaking world, Col Vetoraz has indisputably become a reference point in the distinctive identity and reputation for excellence of this magnificent land.

A story
with deep roots

“I remember it was a warm spring morning in 1993. While strolling through the vineyards my family had been cultivating for generations on this magnificent hill, I, Loris and Paolo decided to found Col Vetoraz Spumanti. We immediately defined what our mission would be: as a tribute to this unique and generous land, we would create only the best quality wines. We had an ambitious aim: to become a reference example in the local area.”
